Artist Andrew Hill has been shaping community-based arts practice since the 1970s. This comprehensive publication showcases his community focused projects (1977-2018), lauded as milestones in the development of Australian multiculturalism.
Reproduced in full colour with critically informed contextualising essays, the publication collates these works and brings them into conversation with the artist’s long-standing painting practice.
Elaborating on the images and themes of the community projects – the experience and struggles of migration, diaspora communities, social bonds, the gentrification of urban environments – the two strands form a compelling and coherent testament to a life lived in the thick of social movements and community action, as participant, activist and keen observer.
Showcasing work collected by institutions the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Art Gallery of South Australia.
